Sea World at San Diego--------------------------------
The idea of a marine zoological park is best utilized in San Diego’s Sea world. The first sea world was started in San Diego in 1964 and now is at Ohio and Florida. It is basically an entertainment park and marine park with several sea lions, dolphins and sometimes penguins. The park is spread on several acres with tight security around. It is due to Dipak’s insistence that we went to such a beautiful place and we were thrilled by the workmanship of dolphins. Sea world is nothing but under water circus with Dolphines and men and women. The circus like maneuvers done by dolphins are astonishing. First of all their size impresses audience. There were three dolphins of not less than twenty-feet and weighing several hundred pounds. The dolphins were jumping, dancing and gamboling in water to the delight of spectators. The girl and boys had also taken part in dancing etc. the girl and boys were riding the dolphins and coming out water sitting on nose of dolphins. And all this show was accompanied by deafening music and running commentary. A special stage was created with semi circular auditorium and big screen. A huge pond was created for dolphins to play around. You can imagine the audience overjoyed response and their shouts to every entry of dolphins. The show lasted for half an hour but audience wished it should be more. At the end of show dolphins, with their jumping and dancing splashed so much water that they made audience wet deliberately. It was fun to watch several young men and women enjoying the show to the hilt.
Apart from dolphins show there were many other shows of interest for younger generation. And each show was given an attractive title such as Breakfast with sea lions etc. it was a ‘Fair’ for one day so to say. The show is open between 10 am to 9 pm on week days but Sunday and public holidays it remains open upto 11 pm. Several food stalls and ice-creams and shops for antics also adorn side show. Then there was adventure riding where people fell from great heights in water and cried loudly. Our people enjoyed skyrider with little Kartikee enjoying it immensely. The Sea World is situated on beautiful Mission beach at San Diego. Yogesh drove us to San Diego, a distance of not less of some 525 miles and journey of nearly nine hours. But it was on insistence of Dipak Phatak, our landlord in San Diego, we went to see Sea world. And it proved to be memorable experience.
